1. First, yes first, make a file folder on the computer or on a computer disk for your work. Do not skip this step or you will waste lots of time later trying to find pages and images. If you use a Mac, it is obvious how to make a new folder. If you use a PC with Windows, right click on the "Start" button and select "Explore." When the Explore page opens up highlight either the "C:" for your hard drive or "A:" for a floppy disk. Then go to "File" in the top toolbar and select "New> Folder" to create the folder. Give it a name you can remember.
2. Next, open up "Notepad" in Windows or "Simple Text" in Mac. (In Windows, make sure you use "Notepad" and not the "Wordpad". You will also have problems if you try to write your code using a word processing program like "Word" or "Word Perfect." These add html tags when you save with the "html" extension. It will get in the way of your tags.)
3. Type your html code on the notepad.When finished, you must save it with the extension ".htm" (or ".html" for Mac) to see the results on your browser. Do not save your work as a text file with a ".txt" extension or it will not work in the browser correctly.
By the way, this is one reason you need to create that file folder in step 1—save you file in that folder so you can find it to load in the browser. You can also temporarily save your file onto the desk top, but you will not want to do that when you are working with many pages.
4. Make the Notepad or SimpleText window smaller so that it takes up less than half the screen.
5. Open your browser and reduce its window so that it also takes up less than half the screen.
